Can we have a /shinyhunt/ general?
What are you currently looking for?
What methods are you using?
Any tips/advice for others?
Any recent finds?
Have fun.

I got a shiny DBHA Audino.
But I bred the wrong nature onto it. It's quiet when it should have been modest. I am buttmad.
Still hunting for a Tyrunt. Been a month or so.
>>28637372
After almost 3 days of searching I got a Shiny Roggenrola through hording.
I usually wonder trade all my breedjects and im left with a bunch of perfect/almost perfect foreign breedjects. Ended up with a few masuda projects.
>>28638047
Audino is a decent TR setter though. I wouldn't really be going offensive with it though.
>>28637372
Currently hunting for a second shiny Houndour via MMing, a shiny Snubbull, and a shiny Mareep via hordes in both X & Y and a shiny Cascoon via DexNav in Omega Ruby.
My advice is to just keep hunting since you're bound to find it eventually, no matter how long it takes. It's all about patience.
My recent finds were all last week, which include: shiny Houndour last Monday, 2 shiny Shellders and 5 shiny Skrelp (the latter via chain fishing).
>>28637372
MMing for Shiny Pawniard, using a 6IV male and 5IV female both adamant nature's. Doing the destiny knot/everstone stuff. Couldn't find a foreign one on gts so I had to breed those from scratch. Currently only at 80 Pawniards.
Shiny hunt generals usually happen during the weekend, also known as /shw/ - Shiny hunt weekend
>>28638390
5 shiny skrelp? is that w/ shiny stone? seems absurd if it isn't lol
just finished my fourth breed reject marill box earlier today
>>28638547
No Shiny Charm at all, but I do have a living dex in Bank and my other games do have the charm. I only have 4 badges on my Y file and I wanted to get the Skrelp and Shellder line asap.
>>28638600
jesus man congrats. that's impressive
>>28638600
btw where did you chain fish for the skrelp? I might try myself for one
>>28638706
Thanks bro. Last time I exhausted my shiny luck was getting 10 in one day within the span of about 8-9 hours between X, Y, OR and AS, and one more about 15 minutes after midnight.
>>28638727
Route 8. If you go to the far left, there's a big rock where you can cast your rod to get a good chain going. I recommend fishing at the north side of the rock.
>>28638547
I remember when chain fishing was first discovered(?) blowing two or three hours in the afternoon chain fishing for a shiny skrelp myself and quickly pawning it off for the opposite box legendary before it became too widespread. It didn't take very long for the one, not sure if I got lucky, but chain fishing doesn't seem terribly time consuming.
>>28638936
It's confirmed one of the easiest methods as far as shiny hunting, unless you're going for a 5% encountermon.
Charmander. Masuda Method.
15 boxes in, just hatched a 6iv female finally. Had solar power too.
So at least I know my Shiny is guaranteed 5 ivs.
Hopefully the shiny isn't too far away now. Gonna stock up a few boxes worth of eggs before I hatch more
>>28639446
>>28639446
good luck, anon. you looking to use it in Sun/Moon?
I was Masudaing Buneary in a dream ball. I had close to 200 eggs in the PC. Hatched them all on a road trip. DS died without saving. Now I need to rehatch all these eggs when I know they're not shiny, so it's really killed my will to go on.
>what is shw
>>28639554
My friend will, I think. I'm gonna surprise her with it when S/M come out.
>>28639583
I thought shiny/non was decided upon hatching?
>>28639745
its decided the moment you get the egg
I'm going for a shiny Ampharos. A team full of pink dream ball shinies would be so cute. So far I have Audino and Sharpedo.
SRing for Turtwig on Diamond and I want to be dead.
>>28637372

My glasses

PKHeX
>Any tips/advice for others?
Just inject it
>Any recent finds?
All #721 Pokemon
Right now I'm soft resetting a shiny Groudon in heart gold, and it's boring as shit...
>>28638556
>4
I'm 10 fucking nigger boxes in of phantumps.
With masuda and shiny charm.
I can already feel I'm gonna go over fucking 20 on this one.
>tfw you'll never be one of those guys that get their shinies in 1 box or less
>>28637372
>>28637372
Shellder
MM and I have the shiny charm
Make a living dex, it's hard but worth it to have the shiny charm in any game you want plus when sun and moon come out all you have to do is catch all the gen 7 Pokemon.
Most recent one was piplup I got via the same methods I'm using for shellder.
>>28640130
You better catch it in a heart ball. Otherwise I will punch you in the nuts.
>shiny hunt week
This is wrong
>>28640214
The heavy ball is both the most effective and best looking ball for Blackdon Primal
But isn't Groudon from Soul Silver?
>>28637372
Shiny Litwick or Shiny Yamask?
>>28640289
Yamask
Its Monday, you can't hunt shinies like you can on weekends
>>28640289
Litwick, regular cofa looks better
MM for Sentret. Shiny Furret is so cute!
I'm 417 eggs in :(
I did manage to get a shiny Mareep the other day though MM and only 28 eggs!
>>28640249
oops I meant to say soul silver.
>>28640214
excuse me while I get my codpiece because I stockpiled 80 heavy balls just for him.
>>28640843
Heavy Ball is broken with the Hoenn legends, you'll be needing 3 tops
>>28639745
If it was, you could save before hatching and soft reset.
bump.
>>28638547
Actually chain fishing is extremely fast regardless of having the shiny charm or not.
>>28640163
I totally felt that way too until on my (21st, 22nd shiny, all taking no less than 7 boxes) I got my zubat in 3 eggs.
i've been in the friend safari for 2 days and no luck
do i just have insanely terrible luck or is this completely normal
Within the last month I've hatched a Shiny Zorua, Charmander, and Ferroseed through MMing. I've also chain fished Clauncher, Poliwhirl, and Octillery.
I traded my Octillery though, that shiny color is god awful
hatched this fucker yesterday
dunno what to breed next
>>28644069
very nice, anon.
>>28643529
how long did the chain fishing take on average?
bump.
>>28644069
It's in a nest ball, I'm guessing his predecessor was from Colosseum? I got me a shiny typhlosion in a premier ball.
15 BOXES IN THIS BITCH AND NOTHING
JUST GIVE ME MY SHINY UNDER 20 BOXES FOR ONCE FUCK YOU GAME
>>28647155
AAAAAA
>1,815 SRs in HeartGold and still no shiny starter
I probably got it that one time I wasn't paying attention and accidentally picked Chikorita before viewing the other starters with my shitty luck.
>tfw it's shiny drought week
Only 7 boxes in but going after shiny Heatmor. Not sure what to name it when I get it.
While wonder trading them away I got a shiny ninetails and gengar, so I got that going for me.
>>28647433
Good luck. That motherfucker took me almost 4-5 months for mine.
currently working on getting my shiny charm, after that I dunno if I'll go back to trying for Gastly or Honedge
>>28647475
Name suggestions? I ain't naming it squiggles
>>28647578
I didn't really think of a good name so I just left it in Japanese. It's a burnt anteater, so maybe something can work off of that.
>>28647578
Arthur
>>28647578
Burnt Jerky
I'm trying to hatch a Shiny Honedge. I'm already over 100 hatches in and I've still not found one, even though I have a Japanese Ditto. Should I keep trying?
>>28647852
When you get up to 10 boxes, then you've broken ground. For now, just keep hatching.
>>28647852
>100 hatches
>>28647852
It took me 14 and some boxes, so around 430 hatches for mine with shiny charm and masuda.
100 hatches can be done in like 2-3 hours dude
>>28647834
Bacon?
Not really "part of a hunt" per se, but just happened across this gal in Black 2! Named her Aquack.
>>28648053
Grats!!
Wasn't hunting but caught his little guy at the battle resort.
I'm 26 boxes in for a shiny paras, with masuda method and shiny charm too.
>>28648461
Congrats!
>>28638433
THIS
>>28637372
>>28648483
That's not even a very good one.....

18 boxes so far. Oy vey.
Been trying for this bitch for the last few days
>>28650100
is it not locked?
Good luck, anon
>>28649636
keep trying, man. you'll get it eventually
Do any of you have reasons for actually breeding/hunting for shinies outside of autism?
>>28650321
Do you have any reason to shitpost aside from autism?
>>28650694
It's not shitposting, it's a genuine question/
Hunting Croagunk currently, 300 eggs in so I'm just starting
>>28648006
Bacon works too
>>28650100
Good luck, my Latios took 4 days
